As far as first quarters go for Woodlands, this classified as a disaster. O'Neill earned a two-touchdown lead quickly with star Jerry Nasi carving up the Falcons' defense. Players compounded that problem by squabbling with one another out of frustration.

The poor start underscored a story that hung over the game all week: Woodlands played without head coach Mike Meade and his son, Frank, a defensive assistant. They were attending the wedding of Meade's other son, Mike, in Monroe, and the Section 1 Class C champ simply wasn't the same without them.
